If we still had actual real investigative reporters in this country, they would pull up countless tweets and videos from some of these famous crackpots and go find them today and confront them. Call these asswipes out on their fear mongering posts about the COVID vaccine and Biden and a host of other things that were "definitely" bringing about the end of the world.

The biggest irony is that of all the things that WILL actually kill us and bring an end to how we live - stuff like guns and climate change - most of these idiots are totally quiet. Those are REAL issues we should be worried about, not how gay marriage will bring about the apocalypse or how Biden will send out death squads.

It's hard to think of one thing that gets me the worst from so many options, but that is up there. We have so many major issues in this country and as a species, and yet these lunatics are obsessed with what people do with their genitals instead. And now they're about to vote again for the guy who attempted a violent coup. It's just beyond insane.

Well be sure to go vote and hope that you can cancel out at least one of those lunatics. And get your friends and family to vote as well. Those people vote and vote consistently. The other side doesn't.

Alas, my family are the lunatics 😔

There are websites listing tweets from Trump as POTUS contradicting himself, every day, sometimes more than once in a day, for all the time he was elected.

After the bar has been put so low, every other random lunatic is just like "meh".

But Trump is untouchable. But too many of these other clowns that don't have billions, still have to earn a living and interact with the rest of us.

Make it very costly for these people to fall down the loony right wing rabbit hole. Both in terms of lost wages and business dealings, but also make them be shunned by society.

Reporters asking for interviews with these people shouldn't need to disclose what it is about ahead of time. Then in the interview bring up one stupid tweet of theirs after another.

Get this guy, and Sorbo (Hercules), as well as anti vaxx nutcase like Jemmy McCarthy and so many others. It sickens me when I see that she has been accepted by society and she's on some popular show on NBC with the masked singers.
